Removal and protection stand apart
Taking out the existing finish, hauling it away, and protecting cabinets, fixtures, and adjoining floors are separate from setting the new tile. If the proposal does not name them, it is written as if the surface is already open and the rest of the room is already protected. Silence is an omission, not a quiet inclusion.
How far the removal goes
The line should say whether the face tile comes off, whether the setting bed under it comes off, and whether a floating floor or a glued sheet is part of the same removal. Lifting the finish and leaving a mortar bed is a different job from opening the assembly down to the structure. A bare demolition word without that depth lets two readers picture two different mornings.
Who takes the debris
Haul-away, a rented container, and debris left for someone else are different responsibilities. The proposal should say which one, and whether dust and small rubble from the removal are part of that responsibility. A setting crew that arrives to a pile nobody owns has already left the written scope.
What must stay covered
Name the things that remain and how they are protected: floors outside the work area, a tub that stays, a vanity that stays, counters that stay. Protection is a scope line because removal throws grit onto those surfaces. A sentence that only says the new tile will be clean does not cover the rooms next door.
